The Continuing Education Option (CEO) supports teachers in achieving Rank I or Rank II through individualized, research-based job-embedded professional development plans. A teacher may use the CEO for achieving Rank I or Rank II, but not both. Rank change is recognized only in Kentucky and though it is not a master’s degree, it does meet statutory requirements for continuing education (KRS 161.095).
In addition to Rank Change, teachers can add endorsements to their certification. These can often be embedded in a Rank 1 program, but can be completed separately.
